Specification forming part of Letters Patent No. 194,82 1, datedSeptember 4, 1877; application filed July 9, 1877.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, WILLIAM YOUNG HORNE, of St. Paul, in the county ofRamseyand State of Minnesota, have invented a new and useful Improvementin Oil-Cans, of which the following is a specification:

The figure is a vertical section of an oilcan to which my improvementhas been applied.

The object of this invention is to furnish an improved oil-can, whichshall be strong and durable, and not liable to be injured by carelesshandling or during transportation.

The invention will first be described in connection with the drawing,and then pointed out in the claim.

B- represents an ordinary oil can. A is a sheet-iron case or jacket, ofsuch size as to receive the can B within it, and leave a narrow spacebetween it and the said can.

The jacket A is Wired upon the inner side of its upper end, as indicatedat a in the figure, for the shoulder b of the can B to rest against, andhas ring-beads formed around it to give it stiffness and strength.

The can Bis inserted in the jacket A from the lower end. The woodenbottom 0 is then inserted in the lower end of the jacket A, to restagainst the bottom of the can B, and the lower edge of the said jacketis turned down upon it. The bottom 0 may be further secured in place bynails.

To the opposite sides of the upper end of the jacket A are attached earsD, to receive the ends of the bail E. In the breast of the can B, at alittle distance from the ear D, is formed a hole to receive the end ofthe venttube, F, which passes up along the said breast nearly to theneck of the can, and is secured to said breast.
